• Broncos' Luke Wattenberg: Dealing with injury

  Rotowire Aug 8, 2026

  Wattenberg (undisclosed) did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. Per Stevens, Wattenberg sustained the injury during Monday's practice. The nature of the injury hasn't been announced, but it's prevented the 2022 fifth-rounder from practicing and puts him in jeopardy of missing Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons. Alex Forsyth would be in line to see more reps at center with the fist-team offense in Wattenberg's potential continued absence.

• Broncos' Luke Wattenberg: Questionable for Sunday

  Rotowire Jan 23, 2026

  Wattenberg (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots. Wattenberg was a full participant in practice throughout the week, so the center's odds of being activated from injured reserve are high. Alex Forsyth (ankle), who has been operating as the starting center, is also questionable to play. Both linemen will likely be able to suit up, but in a situation where neither can go, Sam Mustipher will be the starting center in Sunday's playoff game.
